...all triumph hospitals need 1 year Acute Care Experience in the nurses they hire...xD

^^ owwwsss....where in vermont and texas are those "hospitals"?

any foreigner wanting to work as a nurse in the US must have at least 1-2 years experience working as a nurse...they wont hire you if you dont have experience..

try to review your CPR and concentrate on the parts that you did not do well...

when i started using the saunders cd and nclex 4000....i concentrated only on the endocrine, infection control and delegation and prioritization q's customizing my test by 20 q's a batch then another batch with rationales only showing after all the q's not every after q's....when i get bored of the same topics i choose all the topics just to wake me up a bit and make my brain jump-start again . i think all the q's in the lacharity are useful...try to finish all of them...the lacharity book is just a thin book to get over with compared with the the the saunders book like a bible ...

i stopped at 75 items... i got a lot of endocrine system q's and prioritization, 5-8 drugs (i was freaking out back then, actually i was just expecting 1-2 drugs but now i come to think of it having more drug q's are better because i think they belong to the more difficult range of q's. and you are at the side of passing) 3-5 SATA q's

8 days

i am so grateful to allnurses.com that i will share how i passed the nclex-rn. i studied for four months self study with the help of allnurses.com and google. first three months only studied 2 hours a day because of work. last one month resigned on the job to concentrate on reviewing. i spent 6 to 8 hours per day reading having always adequate breaks. when answering or practicing the questions, only answered 100-150 questions per day (50 q's then break ( 5 min) then rationale then break again then 50 qs again, break and rationale so on) do not over exert yourself. your brain needs a break. (if it works for you, try listening to classical piano pieces by beethoven, mozart etc, on low volume, studies show that more information are retained while listening to them and makes you relaxed. i usually do not study quietly; i get sleepy when it is too quiet). always pray that you will pass and if you have time, pray the rosary and also pray to st joseph of cupertino, patron saint of test takers. here is the prayer: oh great st. joseph of cupertino, who while on earth was given the grace of being asked in your examination only the questions you know. please obtain for me the like favor in these examinations which i am now preparing for. in return, i promise to invoke you and to make you known through christ, our lord. amen. it never fails, trust me. always think positive! always think that you will pass! the books to study and read: 1. kaplan nclex-rn 2010-2011 edition: strategies, practice, and review (kaplan nclex-rn exam) - this will give you a birds eye view what the nclex-rn really is and understand it. it will give you strategies how to tackle questions. 2. saunders comprehensive review for the nclex-rn 4th ed - really important book, concentrate on the endocrine system part 3. prioritization, delegation, and assignment: practice exercises for the nclex examination by linda lacharity - must have book! practice q's for proper delegation and prioritization 4. nclex-rn exam cram (2nd edition) - will give you q's anything under the sun. will practice your endurance in answering q's of 1250. cds or computerize tests to practice on: exam force cram master - the cd that comes with the exam cram saunders comprehensive review for the nclex-rn 4th ed cd that comes with the book nclex 3500 or nclex 4000 - most important to enhance your content and to answer q's. study infection control and some "certain" diets for diseases. study the mnemonics (thanks to the original poster) infection precautions has 3 types:airborne,droplet and contact airborne (my chicken hez tb) measles chicken pox herpes zoster tuberculosis management: -private room -negative airflow pressure, minimum of 6-12 air exchanges per hour -uv germicide irradiation/ high efficiency air filter is used, mask, n95 mask for tb droplet (spiderman) sars s carlet fever sepsis streptococcal pharyngitis pertussis parvovirus b19 pneumonia influenza diphtheria epiglottitis rubella mumps mycoplasmal/meningeal pneumonia adenovirus management: -private room -mask contact (mrs.wee) multi-resistant organism respiratory syncitial virus skin infections (e.g:vchipss- varicella zoster, cutaneous diphtheria, herpes simplex,impetigo, pediculosis, staph infection and scabies) wound infection enteric infection (clostridium difficile) eye infection (conjunctivitis) croup management: -mrsa: gloves, gown, goggles, face shield -patients should be in a private room donning 1 gown 2 mask 3 goggle 4 gloves removing 1 gloves 2 goggle 3 gown 4 mask addisons - hyponatremia, hyperkalemia cushings - hypernatremia, hypokalemia that's it. good luck to all future test takers! you can do it! believe it!
